Monson Savings Bank Opens Voting on Oct. 1 for Community Giving Initiative

MONSON — With the season of giving right around the corner, Monson Savings Bank (MSB) is inviting the public to submit their votes for the bank’s 2026 Community Giving Initiative.

For more than a decade, Monson Savings Bank has been seeking the help of community members to plan the bank’s community giving activities. Each year, the bank encourages the public to vote for the nonprofit charitable organizations they would like MSB to support during the coming year.

Starting Oct. 1, everyone is welcome to cast their vote online at www.monsonsavings.bank/cgi. Voting ends at 3 p.m. on Dec. 31.

Voters may provide the name of one nonprofit organization they would like the bank to donate to in 2026. The only requirements are that the organization be designated a nonprofit and provide services within MSB’s geography. The bank allows each person to vote once and pledges to support the 10 organizations that receive the highest number of votes. The top ten vote recipients will be announced by mid-January.

Visitors to the voting page can also view a compiled list of organizations that the bank has supported in years past, as well as previously nominated organizations.

“Monson Savings Bank supports thousands of Western Massachusetts residents each year through our community outreach efforts. By hosting our Community Giving Initiative and gathering input from locals, we make sure that the voice of the community is heard and that the charitable organizations that are important to our community members will be supported by us in the coming year,” said Dan Moriarty, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “This is a tradition that we look forward to each year. We are extremely thankful for the public’s support of this initiative.”
